Screen Time

Screen time is the amount of time spent using a device with a screen such as a smartphone, computer, television, or video game console. Digital devices provide many great opportunities for the whole family, including activities for learning and creativity, as well as entertainment and enjoyment but too much screen time can have negative effects for both adults and children and managing screen time can be a source of conflict and stress.  Below you will see a short guide about screen time along with lots of helpful links and ideas about how to manage and monitor screen time.

Editors in the making!

After finishing our amazing stories based on the fantastic picture book Journey we have begun to look at editing our writing to make it even better. Even famous authors have to go back and look through their writing to improve it, so we had a go.

We started with simple story sentences and worked out how we could chop them up and make them better, and then read through our own stories to see if there were any sentences that weren’t as brilliant as some of the others. We chopped them up and added in some fantastic language to make it really interesting to the reader!

Editors in the making!

We’ve been busy finishing our stories in M3 following on from our writing based on the book Journey.

In this session we were trying to make our stories even better by editing them and extending them. It worked brilliantly and our stories are brilliant!
